Time To Act: A Resource Book by the Christians in Extinction Rebellion

by Christian Climate Action

‘The climate crisis is the biggest issue facing humanity today. . . It is only together that we can make a difference.’
Amanda Khozi Mukwashi, Christian Aid

Written by members and friends of Christian Climate Action, this stimulating resource book sets out the moral and religious case for joining the struggle against climate change. It reflects on the Christian tradition of non-violent direct action, and offers deeply moving testimonies by those engaged in such protests today, along with powerful sermons, prayers, liturgies and other spiritual resources.

Now is the time to act! Don’t let it pass you by!

‘This is a landmark book. It is nothing short of an invitation to join the holy uprising of people sweeping the globe who will not be silent in the face of the destruction of God’s earth.’
Shane Claiborne, Red Letter Christians

[Christopher Trend · Rating 5 out of 5]

An interesting and useful book of short chapters covering a whole range of issues and actions for those who are Christians & want to support movements such as Extinction Rebellion. Good advice for those who go to XR actions. Also good advice for those who wish to support the movement from within their own churches.

This is a wonderful anthology of essays by diverse Christians involved in organizations like Extinction Rebellion about why they do the work they do and how to do it. I loved the variety of voices telling their stories. There is also lots of advice for churches. I found it really helpful, interesting and inspirational.

Highly recommended.

I read a digital copy of this book via NetGalley.
